Travel refers to a person’s movement from one location to another—whether across a city or town; from one city or town to another; from one state to another; or from one country to another. Travel may be for business purposes or for personal purposes and often requires motorized transportation, such as planes, trains, and automobiles.
In Oklahoma, travel regulations encompass a variety of laws and rules that govern how individuals move within and beyond the state's borders. For motorized transportation such as automobiles, drivers must adhere to the Oklahoma Vehicle Code, which includes rules of the road, vehicle registration requirements, and driver licensing procedures. For business travel, employers must comply with applicable labor laws regarding travel time compensation. When it comes to air travel, federal regulations by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) apply, including security screenings and air traffic rules. Train travel is regulated by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), which oversees railroad safety and operations. Additionally, international travel is subject to U.S. federal laws, including passport and visa requirements managed by the Department of State, and customs regulations enforced by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
